== Andy Lester ==
* author of ack "a grep replacement" and itinerant speaker on "Technical Debt" and employment in the tech world. He's a Perl guru working in the publishing indsutry. Andy's "Technical Debt" lecture would be a good fit, IMO, for the code4lib group.

Cliff is a provocative thinker in the world of both digital and traditional libraries."
== Cathy Marshall ==
* "Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. She's working in personal digital archiving and personal information management.I've been really impressed with two of her recent projects: a talk at ASIST '08 about myths of digital archiving [1http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/cathymar/asist-marshall.pdf] and her JCDL 2009 paper "No bull, No spin"[2http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=80591]--,which examined zillions of flickr photos of a particular tourist attraction to understand how they used tags. Despite being a serious researcher, Cathy is very down-to-earth (check her twitter feed http://twitter.com/ccmarshall or her older and sometimes bizarre hypertext art). I think she'd be a great keynoter for Code4Lib.

"co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society [2] (where David Weinberger is a fellow [3]) and author of "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It" [4]. I heard him speak at a conference last year, largely on the implications of the Google Book deal. He was speaking without notes, very entertaining and knowledgeable both on technical and legal details. Also, according to his bio [1]," He was co-counsel with Lawrence Lessig in Eldred v. Ashcroft, challenging the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998." And "performed the first large-scale tests of Internet filtering in China and Saudi Arabia in 2002"
